0591, the contest between the two sides

The person who shot Shen Yongzhong with three arrows in a row was none other than Sahul, the deputy commander of the Shooting Battalion.

The one who secretly attacked Shen Yongzhong's troops was the 2,400 armor-breaking soldiers in the Shooting Sound Battalion led by Sahur.

After Chige led the shooting battalion to leave Xiaochang County, he did not advance in a straight line to Suizhou in the northwest.

Instead, he used the women's barracks led by his wife Yehenala Wanying to swagger through the city along the way to attract the enemy's attention, and the 4,800 people of the shooting battalion went west into Dahong Mountain and made a big circle, and suddenly appeared in a ravine ten miles west of Suizhou City.

It was only a day late, and Zong Ze, the defender of Suizhou City, surrendered without a fight, and his plan to join forces with the outside in the enemy's rear road completely failed, which caught Chige a little off guard.

Now that Suizhou City has been lost, Shen Yongzhong's vanguard of 2,000 people is no longer Chige's goal, and reoccupying Suizhou City is not his goal.

Shen Yongzhong's father, Shen Zhixiang, has more than 10,000 people, which is the main force of Kong Youde's East Route Army, and it is the object of Chige's attention.

In order to deal with the enemy's main force of more than 10,000 people, this required some planning, and Chige and Sahoul decided to cooperate according to the old routine.

From the beginning of its formation, the Shooting Battalion was composed of two parts in accordance with Xiong Chu's requirements, namely guerrilla and armor-breakers.

Chige led the guerrillas, the main purpose of which was to focus on attacking the enemy's generals. Sahur led the armor-breakers, whose main task was to fight the enemy's heavy cavalry.

Sahur led 2,400 armor-breaking soldiers to abandon their war horses and sneak up, originally preparing to sneak attack the enemy camp and create chaos, the main purpose was to steal Shen Yongzhong's more than 2,000 war horses.

War horses were in short supply in the Central Plains, and the troops of the Xiong Army were greatly expanded, and war horses became the most urgently needed strategic materials.

Shen Yongzhong moved to camp overnight, which was also a big accident.

Sahur has been fighting with Xiong Chu for many years and has extremely rich combat experience. The sudden movement of the enemy to camp will, of course, be quite chaotic, and the vigilance will be very low.

The fighter in front of you is fleeting, and of course you can't let it go. Sahur improvised and attacked at close range with three rounds of bows and arrows, giving Shen Yongzhong a blow to the head.

Although his own war horse was not around, the enemy was already frightened. In addition, it is now the third watch, even if the enemy still has some cavalry that does not panic, they will not be able to counterattack the surrounding dense forest.

Now that the battle had begun and chaos had been caused, Sahoul and his armor-breakers were not in a hurry and began to methodically kill the enemy.

At the beginning, the strength of the two sides was two to one, and the situation of the enemy and us was calculated or unintentional.

The first round of surprise attacks killed more than 400 enemy troops, and the actual strength had become three to one, and Sahoul adjusted his tactics in time and redistributed his own forces.

"There are less than a thousand enemies, and there is no longer any threat. Try to kill people and save horses, and don't just shoot arrows. ”

Half of them quietly left, and Sahur gave the final order to the rest, and then slowly unleashed his arrow against a large tree trunk.

Kong Youde's rebellion is not a rabble, but a ferocious traitor lackey.

Of the 1,200 people who moved out of the camp, although the main general had been killed and more than 400 people had lost in a single face, the remaining 7 or 800 people were still trying to regain their disadvantage.

The reason why these remnants dared to do so was because they thought that their opponent was the remnants of the Great Shun Army.

Whether it is the Manchu Tartars or Kong Youde's rebellion, they have enough psychological advantages for the Ming or Dashun army.

Superb cavalry and archery kung fu is the magic weapon to defeat the Ming or Dashun army.

The remaining seven or eight hundred people found that the people who attacked them did not have war horses, and they had already gained the upper hand psychologically, and they always thought that they could rely on their riding and archery skills to bring back the unfavorable situation.

"Report to the general: the enemy's camp north of the city has been surrounded, there are less than a thousand people in it, and it is absolutely impossible to escape one. ”

The news from the herald lifted Sahur's spirits: "Now that this group of enemies is fighting with trapped beasts, there is no need for us to fight them to increase casualties. Just fence it out and wait for dawn, don't rush into the battle. ”

Sahur's 2,400 armor-piercing soldiers were divided into two, surrounded the enemy in two places north and northeast of the city, and then began to "grind foreign workers", of course, with deep-seated intentions.

Cavalry, only in broad daylight, and on the plains, will come into play.

Although the enemies are all cavalry, the Shooting Battalion is even more cavalry, and it is also the most elite rattan cavalry.

The advantage of rattan armor is that it is lightweight, which can minimize the weight of the war horse, thereby increasing combat effectiveness.

The shooting battalion is all first-class Yanqi horses, and this is still the war horse that Xiong Kaishan snatched back and the Xiong family army bred by itself.

Yanqi horses are not only able to carry weights for long distances, but also can cross rivers, which is incomparable to Mongolian horses.

The enemy's cavalry was beaten by the plot and suffered heavy losses, but there was nowhere to use their strength, because the sneak attackers hid in the shadows and released cold arrows.

On the third watch, it was pitch black all around, even if you wanted to fight back. I don't know how many sneak attackers came, and the distribution law was not clear, of course, there was no counterattack target, so I could only do it in a hurry.

Sahur is now unfamiliar with the place, and has the absolute upper hand, of course, he can't start a scuffle by his own death.

Waiting for the dawn and exposing a qiē to the sun before he can exert his combat effectiveness is the unanimous idea of both the enemy and us.

Sahur was not in a hurry, and the enemy finally slowly stabilized his position and defended. In a strange place, the two sides have formed a very strange tacit understanding.

There was a tacit understanding on this side, but there was no such tacit understanding on the other side, that is, the two thousand four hundred guerrillas led by Chige.

Shen Zhixiang's main force of more than 10,000 troops camped in Shuanghe Town and Hongshan Town, one hundred and twenty miles west of Suizhou City, this evening, and the scouts had already reported the news to Chige.

There is a big mountain called Kuizi Mountain between Hongshan Town and Suizhou City, and the east of Kuizi Mountain is the plain of "Suizao Corridor".

Shen Zhixiang camped in Hongshan Town, in fact, he was preparing to cross Kuizi Mountain the next day.

The enemy prepares, and Chige needs to prepare.

The occupation of Lei Gongzhai was the first thing that Chige and Sahur had to do after they divided their troops.

Lei Gongzhai was originally a bandit cottage on Kuizi Mountain, after Li Zicheng swept through Huguang Jiangbei, Lei Gongzhai was a sentry post in the west of Suizhou.

After the surrender of Zong Ze, the defender of Suizhou City, the current Lei Gongzhai became a beacon tower of Shen Yongzhong.

The beacon tower is used to call the police, and of course Chige can't turn a blind eye.

When Sahur set out to attack the enemy, Chige also sent 300 men to Kuizi Mountain overnight to surround Lei Gongzhai.

The task of these 300 people is very clear: to secretly surround the beacon tower at night, and whenever the enemy ignites the beacon fire, he will wipe out all the 60 people in the Lei Gong Village, so that not a single person will slip through the net.

The beacon tower emits smoke during the day and holds a fire at night.

When it was close to the fourth watch, a raging fire was ignited in the north camp of Suizhou City, reflecting the entire eastern sky in red, and Lei Gongzhai could see it clearly from a high position.

In less than half an hour, a sky-high fire also ignited on the hill where Lei Gongzhai was located, and Hongshan Town in the west could naturally see it clearly.

"Feng Jiangjun, now Suizhou City is under attack by the enemy, and we need urgent reinforcements. You are the head snake here, and you are most familiar with the Suizao area. I hope you will immediately set out and make sure to kill the enemy and make sure that our vanguard does not have problems. ”

When it was close to the fifth watch, there was a sudden beacon fire, indicating that the enemy was attacking the Suizhou camp at night, which of course made people nervous, and one person was even more nervous.

This person is Shen Zhixiang, the chief general of Kong Youde's East Road Army, and Shen Yongzhong's father who was killed by Sahur's three arrows.

The worst thing about marching and fighting is to send troops to reinforce others in the middle of the night.

What will happen on the way to reinforcements in the dark, no one dares to pack a ticket.

Now that he has to cross Dahong Mountain overnight to reinforce Suizhou City, the treacherous and cunning Shen Zhixiang certainly understands the power.

But Suizhou City is his precious son, and it will not work without reinforcements. And for immediate reinforcements, go now.

The "Feng Jiangjun" in Shen Zhixiang's mouth is called Feng Yangzhu.

Feng Yangzhu was the defender who stayed in Xiangyang City before Li Zicheng went north to seize the Central Plains.

Kong Youde's army pursued Hao Shaoqi south, Feng Yangzhu closed the city gate to prevent Hao Shaoqi from entering the city, and then surrendered without a fight with his 5,000 men.

After a simple reorganization, Feng Yangzhu's army still had 3,600 people left, which supplemented Shen Zhixiang's East Route army as a supernumerary force.

More than 1,400 members of Feng Yangzhu's team stayed in Kong Youde's camp and were stationed in Xiangyang City, which is said to be for safety and for the flexibility of the troops.

Now that his son is being attacked by the enemy, Shen Zhixiang has a full reason: he is not familiar with the people here, and the important task of reinforcing Suizhou City in the middle of the night can only be held by Feng Yangzhu, the head snake.

Of course, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements, Shen Zhixiang sent 1,500 cavalry to act in unison, and accepted the unified command of Feng Yangzhu.

This is a great trust in the general, Feng Yangzhu can't shirk it, and he doesn't dare to shirk it, so he hurriedly pulled out the camp and set off.

More than 5,000 people climbed over the Great Flood Mountain overnight, and countless torches formed a huge long dragon.

When the large army began to enter the mountain, it was already dark, and Feng Yangzhu received the first bad news: "Report to the general: The vanguard was ambushed by the enemy, and all 600 people were annihilated!"

The enemy is in ambush in the middle of the forest, which is not good news.

"Who is the enemy?Why didn't you hear the sound of fighting?" Feng Yangzhu's head was sweating.

The herald's voice trembled a little: "We desperately escaped to report the news, because the vanguard of the road in front of us was shot dead without even seeing the enemy. General, Shen Zhixiang, the old fox, is clearly asking us to come out and be a substitute for the dead ghost, if this continues, all the brothers will not have a way to live. ”

"The way to live is killed by yourself, not given by others. Feng Yangzhu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said righteously: "We are shouldering the heavy responsibility of reinforcing Major General Shen Yongzhong, which is an incomparable trust in us." The order will go down, and the follow-up 1,200 people will immediately rush to Lei Gongzhai, otherwise the military law will be involved!"

When Feng Yangzhu climbed the watershed, it was already dark, and there was no bad news in the past half an hour. Shoot the enemy of the 600 vanguard and disappear from the world like a ghost.

There are no enemy sneak attacks in the dense forest, which is good news. You can already see the mist at the foot of the eastern mountain, mixed with wisps of cooking smoke, which is really a wonderful idyllic scene.

Just go down the mountain and never have to worry about enemy ambushes again. The 1,500 elite cavalry sent by Shen Zhixiang can play a huge role on the plains.

Feng Yangzhu thought so.

The elite cavalry sent by Shen Zhixiang did not ask for instructions, but rushed down the mountain with a shout.

I was a little unhappy in my heart, after all, I was the head of the reinforcements designated by Shen Zhixiang, and now that people didn't think that I didn't have zài, Feng Yangzhu naturally couldn't be happy.

If you are unhappy, you will have some reflection in action.

Feng Yangzhu was not happy in his heart, so he did not go down the mountain immediately, but condescended on the watershed, looking at the 1,500 elite cavalry that appeared on the plain, as if a sharp arrow shot towards Suizhou City.

The displeasure is temporary, as long as the reinforcement task can be completed, it is a great achievement, and now the cavalry has rushed over.

Success is just around the corner, and it's still worth getting excited.

Feng Yangzhu turned over and got on the horse, and as soon as he raised the horsewhip in his hand, he was about to give an order, and the movements in his hands, the expressions on his face, and his half-open mouth all froze.

No, the 3,000 infantry troops stranded on the mountain also saw the situation under the mountain, and almost at the same time gasped, and were completely stunned!
